Perceptions and Barriers About Cessation of Smoking Among IBD Patients

SmokingInflammatory Bowel Diseases

This study will investigate the perception of the relationship between smoking and inflammatory bowel disease by surveying inflammatory bowel disease patients. Afterward, the relationship between smoking and inflammatory bowel disease will be explained, and the smoking cessation rate will be investigated three months later.

Stoma Closure and Reinforcement Trial ll

Ileostomy - StomaInflammatory Bowel Diseases

Hernia formation at sites of ostomy closure is a common complication. The investigator believes that using evidence based hernia repair techniques as a preventive measure during closure of ostomies will reduce the incidence of hernia formation. In this trial, the investigator will pilot a novel technique of monofilament bioresorbable mesh reinforcement of the abdominal wall defects that remain after closure of an ileostomy to evaluate for safety and begin to evaluate the effectiveness compared to standard techniques.

A Comprehensive Self-Management Intervention for Individuals With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesUlcerative Colitis1 more

This study aims to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a comprehensive self-management (CSM) intervention for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The CSM-IBD intervention is an adaption of the CSM intervention initially developed for individuals with irritable bowel syndrome. The intervention has eight sessions which cover an introduction to IBD, symptom tracking, cognitive behavioral strategies, relaxation, sleep, diet, and pain management.

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease Mediterranean Diet (IBDMED) Microbiome-targeting Nutritional Education...

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

The rising incidence of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), especially in the newly industrialized nations of Asia, highlights the possible role of environmental triggers such as diet and the gut microbiome in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The Mediterranean diet (MED) has been previously correlated with beneficial outcomes in several chronic and immune-mediated diseases and has been linked with positive outcomes in IBD. However, consumption of high fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts may be challenging for patients with IBD without tight dietary guidance and support. The IBDMED nutritional education program aims to improve the adherence of patients with IBD to MED. Patients are educated on how to implement and incorporate MED principles into their daily lifestyle, by providing information, tips, practical tools, cooking methods and recipes, that are available on an interactive website and application. Patients are monitored for their diet, sleep, physical activity and stress levels via fitness trackers and questionnaires developed for this study and receive feedback and personal recommendations from the study dietitians along the way. This RCT will assess the feasibility and effects of an 8-week IBDMED nutritional and lifestyle education program vs. the nutritional standard of care in patients with newly diagnosed CD and in healthy subjects in Israel and India.

VNS Prospective Neuromodulation of Autonomic, Immune and Gastrointestinal Systems

Autoimmune DiseasesEpilepsy2 more

Vagal nerve stimulation is a neurosurgical procedure consisting of implantation of an impulse generator battery with leads placed into the vagus nerve in the neck. This procedure was FDA approved for epilepsy in the 1990s and is commonly performed as an outpatient surgery. The mechanism of efficacy is not well understood; however it is increasingly recognized that electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve may impact other organ systems in the body including the immune, gastrointestinal and autonomic systems. The primary objective of this study is to characterize the pre- and post-operative bowel habits and gut microbiome of patients implanted with vagal nerve stimulator (VNS) for epilepsy. Secondary objectives of this study include: (1) to characterize the pre- and post-operative autonomic profile, (2) characterize the pre- and post-operative immune profile, and (3) to elucidate whether gut microbiota changes are related to VNS efficacy for epilepsy.

The Function of Nutrition Rich Vegan Drink on Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Recovery

The aim of this project, would be to develop a new formula, with high nutrition content on a vegan basis. The investigators expect to produce this novel vegan-based juice product, which does not exist on the marked today. The juice would consist of different selected varieties of vegetables and fruits. Beside the vegetables, the juice will also contain plant oils to increase the calorie level, as well as a protein sources containing amino acids with high anabolic effects. The products will be tested in an intervention study on patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Markers of Oxidative Stress in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Risk Factors and Implications for a...

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD), Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and IBD-unclassified (IBD-U) is a chronic inflammatory intestinal disorders that affect both children and adults. Patients with IBD can present with severe gastrointestinal symptoms, require frequent hospitalizations, expensive medical treatments and can develop invalidating complications requiring surgery. The incidence of IBD is increasing worldwide. The pathogenesis is multifactorial with immunological, environmental and genetic factors contributing to the disease. There is evidence that oxidative stress (OS) imbalance is involved in IBD onset and evolution, although the exact contribution to the pathogenes is unclear. An antioxidant dietetic approach is promising as an adjunctive treatment of IBD. The main aims of this project are to characterize the OS imbalance in IBD in relation to disease's features and to genetic factors and to evaluate the efficacy of an antioxidant dietetic treatment

Regulation of Mucosal Healing in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

The objective of the current study is to compare non-healing colonic ulcers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with iatrogenic colonic ulcers (biopsy sites) in healthy control patients and patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. Patients will be biopsied at baseline and again at a follow-up visit in a "biopsy of the biopsy" approach. These biopsies will be used to reveal patterns about gene expression and mitochondrial function during ulcer healing.

A Novel Remote Patient and Medication Monitoring Solution to Improve Adherence and PerSiStence With...

Inflammatory Bowel DiseasesCrohn Disease1 more

The investigators hypothesize that use of a remote monitoring digital health system that supports medication taking and monitoring of symptoms will improve adherence, clinical outcomes, and decrease healthcare utilization compared to standard care in participants with inflammatory bowel disease initiating oral or subcutaneous treatment. The investigators are conducting a 12-month, multicenter, randomized, controlled trial to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a remote monitoring digital health system on adherence, clinical outcomes, and healthcare utilization. The investigators will address the following specific aims: Compare adherence as measured by the medication possession ratio in participants using a remote monitoring digital health system compared to standard of care. Compare clinical outcomes and healthcare utilization in participants using a remote monitoring digital health system compared to standard of care.

Statin Therapy in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC): a Multi-omics Study

Primary Sclerosing CholangitisInflammatory Bowel Diseases

PSC is a liver disease that has no medical cure. Patients with PSC are at a greatly increased risk of cancer and infection. Additionally, many patients require a liver transplant. Progress towards a cure has been severely limited by an incomplete understanding of why patients develop PSC. The investigators aim to close this gap by conducting a pilot human study in patients with PSC, using statin therapy as a model
